Aplos Simple Medierranean

Ordered braised lamb gyro w side salad and drink through the website. Showed up on time for curbside service. I also pre-tipped since I requested curbside. The lamb wasn’t hot or even warm. The pita wasn’t warmed. So it also wasn’t as soft as it could have been. There wasn’t an option to pick a dressing for side salad online, it was a dry salad with only the juices from the olives and tomatoes. I wasn’t provided with silverware or napkins. When I arrived I had to call several times before anyone could answer. It rolls to voicemail after 3 rings. I hadn’t ordered from here in over a year. I’ve had better experiences in the past.

I’m rating 2 stars because what I got did not match the price I paid for two people ($60 including the tip). We sat outside in the beautiful courtyard and scanned the barcode to place our order. That was super convenient due to Covid. When paying, the tip was requested upfront (which has always been odd to me). What can you do other than tip good because you don’t want someone to mishandle your food. Well…I’m confused on what I tipped for. A lady brought our Frose’ or shall I say NO-se’. It was terrible, bitter and tasted mostly like St. Germain. A little simple syrup would have done it wonders. Also, the cups weren’t full!?! $8 for a small and almost half empty cup??? I then asked for straws and she seemed as if I was putting her at an inconvenience. Our actual food was brought by several others. Hopefully they got the tip and not the other lady! We then realized we didn’t get our water. We waited and waited and waited. I finally went inside, and low and behold, here’s the lady again. I told her we didn’t get the water we ordered. Her response was that they don’t see the water on the orders and we have to come ask them for a cup to get our own water. I was confused again! Why is it an option on the online ordering site and why can they see everything but the water??? Anywho, the food looked great but most was very bland. The Greek Salad and Gyro had zero flavor. The Greek Fries were kind of good but super salty at the same time. The pizza was good and we got happy hour pricing BUT it looked nothing like the picture on the ordering site. I’m not sure why this place is so highly rated. There are so many other great Mediterranean options out there.

The place was super cute and the food was very good. However the service was absolutely terrible. I paid $4 for a strawberry frozen lemonade and they brought my cup only half full of drink. For $4?? That’s ridiculous. My husband specifically asked for no cheese on his wrap because he can’t eat it and they brought his food out with cheese anyway. He went to tell them about the mistake and he waited for over half an hour for his food. The restaurant is quiet small to accommodate for all the business it gets. There was one nice male waiter, that’s about it. Overall terrible service.

Much more quiet and calm this evening. Last night this place was overrun with unruly children totally unsupervised by their selfish parents. So, we postponed and came this evening. I ordered the hummus with vegetables. The hummus was tasty. The veggies, carrots, sweet peppers, and cauliflower were fresh. My daughter had a small Greek salad and pita mozzarella. She said it was good and comparable to Keifers' pita mozzarella.

Great Greek restaurant! They are partnered with Manship so you know it’s going to be good. My favorite item on the menu is the pitamozz but I love their gyro and fries as well. The pizza can be soggy so I tend to avoid it. They have a great covered outdoor seating area with TVs as well as chairs and tables on the main patio. They have good happy hour specials too.
